Turmeric is a very low-purine spice that may offer mild anti-inflammatory benefits for gout.

Good
  • Curcumin, the active compound, can inhibit xanthine oxidase and reduce inflammation. Culinary amounts are safe and may help lower uric acid modestly in some people.
Bad
  • High-dose curcumin supplements can interact with blood thinners and are not a substitute for prescribed urate-lowering therapy. Clinical evidence remains mixed for urate reduction.
